: "Dahloongamiut Lagoon" is a singularly inappropriate name for ''this'' graticule, considering that slightly over half of the lagoon is in [[59,-167]].

: Narsaq Kujalleq and Narsarmijit are alternate names of the same place.

In areas as sparsely settled as this, it makes sense to name graticules after large parks or geographical features that span most of the graticule rather than hamlets. If geohashers a few graticules away were planning a visit, what would they call it?

Disagreed. The Isle of Skye is far more known internationally than the town of Portree so changing this seems unnecessary.

*[[56,-4]]: Lomond, United Kingdom for Helensburgh, United Kingdom
 +
I'm local to the general area, and would not associate Helensburgh with the majority of this graticule. It contains the entirety of Loch Lomond and the majority of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, and as such, Lomond is a name much more associated with the graticule than the current name. Loch Lomond is also well known outside of the UK, so it's more relevant than Helensburgh both locally and globally. --[[User:KerrMcF|KerrMcF]] ([[User talk:KerrMcF|talk]]) 23:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
 +
*[[56,-3]]: Kirkcaldy, United Kingdom for Perth, United Kingdom
 +
Disagreed. Unsure why this would be an appropriate renaming. Perth is a city whilst Kirkcaldy is a town and whilst Kirkcaldy has a larger population, it is not by much. Perth is more well-known on a wider scale. Arguably, Stirling is a more suitable name for this graticule despite Perth's larger population as both are cities but Stirling has a larger tourism aspect to it making it more known. Either way, both Perth and Stirling are more appropriate names than Kirkcaldy and realistically no renaming is required for this graticule. --[[User:KerrMcF|KerrMcF]] ([[User talk:KerrMcF|talk]]) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Agreed. Berwick-Upon-Tweed is slightly split between this graticule and 55,-1 however it is larger in population than Jedburgh. I would also suggest that Berwick-Upon-Tweed is a more known place due to the tourism aspect and as such is probably the more appropriate name. --[[User:KerrMcF|KerrMcF]] ([[User talk:KerrMcF|talk]]) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

: Derry/Londonderry is indeed far larger but split.

: Kitkatla (a.k.a. "Dolphin Island 1") is the larger town, less close to the edge of the graticule, and doesn't make it sound like the graticule is named after a minor natural feature.

Yes, Hemet may be larger in population but I happen to know for a fact that no one there geohashes or even owns a computer. Actually Palm Springs could make an argument for this Graticule as well, you may have heard of it, the Rat Pack used to hang out there. But, this Graticule is dominated by California's largest State Park, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, an immense wilderness that will only not try to kill you for two weeks in the spring when the flowers are blooming. Therefore I suggest it be left as-is. --Scerruti

I see absolutely no gain in renaming the graticule, because when I read "Port Curieuse" I will know less about where the graticule is than when I read "northwest". The Kerguelen islands are a largely uninhabited place and nobody goes there except for some scientists.

Latest revision as of 23:16, 19 July 2024

The following is a list of renaming suggestions for graticules, based on the geonames.org database, based strictly on city size. Many of them are just

  • differences in transcription
  • split cities that have named two graticules
  • split cities that have not been considered because they are only partly in the graticule in question
  • or there are other excellent reasons not to name a graticule after the largest city it contains.

but some of the suggestions are actually reasonable. If you happen to have a lazy afternoon/evening, feel free to browse this list, compare population sizes in wikipedia or whatever better source you have available, and to confirm or disprove these suggestions.

If you can confirm any renaming suggestion as sensible, please try to

  • in the case of USA, Canada or Australia: identify the correct state for the graticule.
  • contact any local geohashers and ask them for their opinion (if there are any, wait for a response before proceeding).
  • change the name of the graticule on the correct subpage in the Category:All graticules.
  • move the old graticule page to the new name.

Mark the graticule below as

  • (confirmed) - yes, the suggested city is larger that the current namesake
  • (moved) - the change has been made
  • (not to be moved) - the graticule is not to be renamed, for other reasons (please specify)

or simply remove it from the list, if it is completely irrelevant (e.g. in the case of transcription differences).

The first name on the line is the PROPOSED new name. The second name is the CURRENT name.

70s

  • 73,-55: Naajat, Greenland for Naajaat, Greenland
I can't find any source with the transcription "Naajat". Shouldn't be moved. 𝒩 (talk) 00:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
  • 72,-55: Upernavik Kujalleq, Greenland for Kangersuatsiaq, Greenland
Not sure if should be moved, but suggesting anyway. 2020 population figures: Upernavik Kujalleq 201, Aappilattoq 149, Kangersuatsiaq 130. OTOH, Kangersuatsiaq is a lot more central. --January First-of-May (talk) 18:57, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
  • 71,24: Havøysund, Norway for Havøysund North, Norway
  • 70,-52: Qaarsut, Greenland for Uummannaq, Greenland
Qaarsut has far less people than Uummannaq. Shouldn't be moved. 𝒩 (talk) 00:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
  • 70,-22: Kap Hope, Greenland for Itterajivit, Greenland
The local name is Itterajivit. Shouldn't be moved. 𝒩 (talk) 00:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)
  • 70,21: Sørvær, Norway for Bergsfjord, Norway
Debatable. While Sørvær is larger, it is not accessible from the rest of the graticule and only a very small part of the island on which it is located is inside the graticule. This makes it far more likely that a hash will be accessible from Bergsfjord than from Sørvær. 𝒩 (talk) 00:21, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

60s

  • 69,-53: Qeqertarsuaq, Greenland for Kangerluk, Greenland
Qeqertarsuaq has a lot more people and is a lot more central. Not sure why this name wasn't chosen originally. --January First-of-May (talk) 20:26, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
  • 69,15: Myre, Norway for Bleik, Norway

  • 68,13: Evjen, Norway for Leknes, Norway
  • 68,22: Kuttainen, Sweden for Karesuando, Sweden
  • 68,23: Enontekiö, Finland for Hetta, Finland

Not to be moved. Enontekiö is the name of the municipality which spans nine graticules. Hetta is the proper name of the municipality's central village, though you may see Enontekiön kirkonkylä in some contexts. ― Kripakko (talk) 07:44, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

  • 63,9: Kyrksæterøra, Norway for Orkanger, Norway
  • 63,16: Hammarstrand, Sweden for Ragunda, Sweden

To be moved. Ragunda is the municipality (which spans several graticules), Hammarstrand the largest settlement.

  • 61,-148: Lazy Mountain, Alaska for Sutton, Alaska
  • 61,-127: Mount Nirvana, Northwest Territories for Glacier Lake, Northwest Territories
Mount Nirvana is the highest point of the NWT. Glacier Lake is not even in this graticule (it's in 62,-127). --January First-of-May (talk) 16:38, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
  • 61,-7: Høvdaskoratangi, Faroe Islands for Faroes Southwest, Faroe Islands
A cape in this graticule. Perhaps this should just be Koltur, Faroe Islands. Yet another "not a fan of island-directional graticule names" entry. --January First-of-May (talk) 20:03, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

  • 60,-167: Cape Mohican, Alaska for Dahloongamiut Lagoon, Alaska
"Dahloongamiut Lagoon" is a singularly inappropriate name for this graticule, considering that slightly over half of the lagoon is in 59,-167. If it was a name for that (barely land) graticule it would've been a decent one though. --January First-of-May (talk) 17:10, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

  • 60,-146: Tatitlek, Alaska for Orca Bay, Alaska
  • 60,-44: Narsaq Kujalleq, Greenland for Narsarmijit, Greenland
Narsaq Kujalleq and Narsarmijit are alternate names of the same place. I propose "Aappilattoq, Greenland", since the corresponding settlement is both larger and not right at the border of the graticule. (Note that the other Aappilattoq, in 72,-55, is not the largest settlement in its graticule.) --January First-of-May (talk) 22:59, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

Debatable. Borlänge is larger, but Falun is more important and better known.

  • 60,20: Lemland, Finland for Kumlinge, Finland

Debatable. Lemland is larger.

  • 57,-170: Saint Paul, Alaska for St. Paul, Alaska
  • 57,-154: Karluk, Alaska for Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska

In areas as sparsely settled as this, it makes sense to name graticules after large parks or geographical features that span most of the graticule rather than hamlets. If geohashers a few graticules away were planning a visit, what would they call it?

  • 57,-136: Pelican, Alaska for Lisianski Inlet, Alaska
  • 57,-133: Hobart Bay, Alaska for Port Houghton, Alaska
  • 57,-6: Portree, United Kingdom for Skye, United Kingdom

Disagreed. The Isle of Skye is far more known internationally than the town of Portree so changing this seems unnecessary. The island itself covers a large portion of the graticule and as such it is a more appropriate name. --KerrMcF (talk) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

  • 56,-169: Saint George, Alaska for St. George, Alaska
  • 56,-158: Chignik Lake, Alaska for Chignik, Alaska
  • 56,-133: Kake, Alaska for Keku Strait, Alaska
  • 56,-132: Petersburg, Alaska for Wrangell, Alaska
  • 56,-5: Fort William, United Kingdom for Oban, United Kingdom
  • 56,-4: Lomond, United Kingdom for Helensburgh, United Kingdom

I'm local to the general area, and would not associate Helensburgh with the majority of this graticule. It contains the entirety of Loch Lomond and the majority of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, and as such, Lomond is a name much more associated with the graticule than the current name. Loch Lomond is also well known outside of the UK, so it's more relevant than Helensburgh both locally and globally. --KerrMcF (talk) 23:15, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

  • 56,-3: Kirkcaldy, United Kingdom for Perth, United Kingdom

Disagreed. Unsure why this would be an appropriate renaming. Perth is a city whilst Kirkcaldy is a town and whilst Kirkcaldy has a larger population, it is not by much. Perth is more well-known on a wider scale. Arguably, Stirling is a more suitable name for this graticule despite Perth's larger population as both are cities but Stirling has a larger tourism aspect to it making it more known. Either way, both Perth and Stirling are more appropriate names than Kirkcaldy and realistically no renaming is required for this graticule. --KerrMcF (talk) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

  • 56,11: Liseleje, Denmark for Anholt, Denmark

Debatable. Liseleje is a village in the very corner of the graticule, Anholt a somewhat known island. Although Liseleje houses more inhabitants, Anholt is definitely better known and defines the location better.

  • 56,26: Līvāni, Latvia for Madona, Latvia

Debatable. While Līvāni seems to be larger, Madona is better known and an administrational centre.

  • 55,-159: Ivanof Bay, Alaska for Perryville, Alaska
  • 55,-8: Gaoth Dobhair, Ireland for Derrybeg, Ireland
  • 55,-7: Bun Cranncha, Ireland for Derry, United Kingdom
Bun Crannha is tiny, Derry is split. Realistically we should probably name both graticules after Derry, but I admit that most of this graticule's land area is in Ireland. --January First-of-May (talk) 09:54, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
  • 55,-2: Berwick-Upon-Tweed, United Kingdom for Jedburgh, United Kingdom

Agreed. Berwick-Upon-Tweed is slightly split between this graticule and 55,-1 however it is larger in population than Jedburgh. I would also suggest that Berwick-Upon-Tweed is a more known place due to the tourism aspect and as such is probably the more appropriate name. --KerrMcF (talk) 02:17, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

  • 55,-1: North Shields, United Kingdom for Blyth, United Kingdom
  • 55,22: Telšiai, Lithuania for Tauragė, Lithuania

  • 55,27: Hlybokaye, Belarus for Krāslava, Latvia
  • 54,-9: Béal An Átha, Ireland for Ballina, Ireland
  • 54,-8: Sligeach, Ireland for Sligo, Ireland
  • 54,-7: Londonderry County Borough, United Kingdom for Omagh, United Kingdom
Derry/Londonderry is indeed far larger but split. If I was in charge of naming those two graticules I'd go with Derry North and Derry South, but in that kind of area I'd rather defer to local geohashers. OTOH, there don't appear to be any local geohashers - both graticules are virgin. --January First-of-May (talk) 09:54, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

  • 54,21: Chernyakhovsk, Russia for Giżycko, Poland
  • 53,-130: Kitkatla, British Columbia for Oona River, British Columbia
Kitkatla (a.k.a. "Dolphin Island 1") is the larger town, less close to the edge of the graticule, and doesn't make it sound like the graticule is named after a minor natural feature. (This particular graticule maybe should be named after a natural feature, i.e. one of the larger islands; it's somewhat debatable whether a community of ~300 people is more important.) --January First-of-May (talk) 08:47, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

  • 50,-2: Poole, UK for Weymouth, United Kingdom
  • 50,4: Brussels, BE for Bruxelles, Belgium
Proposing a third variant: "Bruxelles/Brussel, Belgium".

Brussels has a french majority, but is officially bilingual. Since language issues are very important to both Flemic and Wallonians (there is no such thing as a Belgian*) and using the wrong one can get you killed, I think it's appropriate to use the double spelling here. [Ekorren] (* Actually there are twelve Belgians: The king and the soccer national team.)

  • 47,9: Konstanz, Germany for Sankt Gallen, Switzerland

Debatable, Konstanz is actually larger.

  • 47,10: Kempten (Allgäu), Germany for Kempten, Germany

Debatable, although the other places named Kempten are entirely unknown.

  • 47,21: Oradea, Romania for Debrecen, Hungary

While the cities have similar sizes, i'd suggest letting this one remain as-is, since a large part of the graticule is in Hungary. -- CrystyB

  • 46,-123: Aberdeen, USA for Astoria, Oregon

- Objection

I'd say Astoria is better known
  • 46,-119: Kennewick, USA for Tri Cities, Washington

- Objection

I'd say Tri Cities is better known
  • 46,-117: Lewiston, USA for Pullman, Washington
  • 46,-116: Lewiston Orchards, USA for Lewiston, Idaho
  • 46,-112: Butte, USA for Helena, Montana

Debatable. The population difference isn't major, and both cities are on the edge of the grat, with some of the city on the other side of the grat border. Helena may be more recognizable.

  • 46,-107: Hysham, USA for Custer, Montana

To be moved. Hysham is larger and more central.

  • 46,-101: New Salem, USA for Flasher, North Dakota

Debatable. New Salem is larger, but Flasher is more central. Also, it'd be a shame to get rid of a name like that. ;)

  • 46,-99: Wishek, USA for Tappen, North Dakota

To be moved. Wishek is significantly larger and more central.

Note: "Kolozsvár" is the (historical) Hungarian name. -- CrystyB

  • 46,143: Novikovo, Russia for Ozerskoye, Russia
Ozerskoye seems to be about twice as big. No reason to move really.
  • 45,-117: Union, USA for Enterprise, Oregon

Debatable. The population difference is negligible, Enterprise is more central, but Union County is also part of the grat.

  • 45,-109: Red Lodge, USA for Columbus, Montana

Debatable. Red Lodge is slightly larger and less easily confused with other grats, but Columbus is somewhat more central.

  • 45,-106: Colstrip, USA for Lame Deer, Montana

Debatable. Colstrip is slightly larger and a town rather than CDP, but Lame Deer is more central.

  • 45,-101: North Eagle Butte, USA for Dupree, South Dakota
  • 45,-99: Gettysburg, USA for Hoven, South Dakota

While Gettysburg is larger, it is also on the grat's edge. Perhaps rename it to Eureka, a city as central as Hoven but closer in size to Gettysburg?

  • 45,-97: Sisseton, USA for Webster, South Dakota

Debatable. Sisseton is slightly larger, but Webster is more central.

  • 45,-95: Willmar, USA for Alexandria, Minnesota

Debatable. Willmar is larger, but Alexandria is slightly more central, while Willmar is on the grat's edge.

  • 45,-93: Plymouth, USA for Minneapolis NW, Minnesota
  • 45,-92: Stillwater, USA for St. Paul NE, Minnesota
  • 45,-89: Merrill, USA for Rhinelander, Wisconsin

Debatable. Merrill is larger, but Rhinelander is somewhat more central.

  • 45,-77: Pembroke, Canada for Denbigh, Ontario

wmcduff: Agreed. I've heard of Pembroke, but not Denbigh.

  • 45,-76: Carleton Place, Canada for Renfrew, Ontario

wmcduff: Debatable. Renfrew is more central, and Carleton Place feels like a far-flung neighbourhood of Ottawa to me.

  • 45,-74: Saint-Jérôme, Canada for Saint-Jérôme West, Québec

wmcduff: Saint-Jérôme is split by the border. I'd say neither and look at Lachute or Dorion, perhaps.

  • 45,-70: Lac-Mégantic, Canada for Stratton, Maine
  • 45,-67: Calais, USA for Dumbarton, New Brunswick

wmcduff: Disagree. St. Stephen, New Brunswick is larger than Calais.

  • 45,-61: Antigonish, Canada for Port Hawkesbury, Nova Scotia

wmcduff: Debatable. Antigonish is split by the border, most of it is in the New Glasgow grat.

  • 45,17: Požega, Croatia for Virovitica, Croatia
  • 45,20: Senta, Serbia for Zrenjanin, Serbia
  • 45,21: Timişoara / Temesvár, Romania for Timişoara, Romania

Note: "Temesvár" is the (historical) Hungarian name. -- CrystyB

  • 45,141: Wakkanai, Japan for Cape Sōya, Japan
  • 44,-119: Mount Vernon, USA for Kimberly, Oregon

Probably to be moved, as Mount Vernon is the largest town in the area while Kimberly is unincorporated.

  • 44,-118: John Day, USA for Prairie City, Oregon

Debatable. John Day is larger, but Prairie City is more central.

  • 44,-101: Philip, USA for Midland, South Dakota

Probably to be moved. Philip is significantly larger, and the two are about equal in centrality.

  • 44,-93: Minneapolis, USA for Minneapolis SW, Minnesota
  • 44,-88: Green Bay, USA for Appleton, Wisconsin

Debatable. While Green Bay has more residents and is better known outside the region, Appleton is fairly central while Green Bay is on the edge of the grat.

  • 44,-81: Hanover, Canada for Bruce County, Ontario
  • 44,-80: Owen Sound, Canada for Grey County, Ontario
  • 44,-77: Deseronto, Canada for Belleville, Ontario

wmcduff: Disagree. Belleville is much more known (and has a major junior hockey team :).

  • 44,-75: Brockville, Canada for Ogdensburg, New York

wmcduff: Agreed. Brockville is 20K to Ogdensburg's 10K.

  • 44,-74: Massena, USA for Potsdam, New York

Probably to be moved. While Potsdam may be more recognizable, Massena is larger, and Potsdam is partly cut off by the grat border.

  • 44,-72: Barre, USA for Montpelier, Vermont

Debatable. While Barre has more residents, Montpelier is the state capital and thus more recognizable to those outside the region, as well as slightly more central.

  • 44,-71: Berlin, USA for Gorham, New Hampshire

To be moved. Berlin is significantly larger and also slightly more central.

  • 44,-66: Lubec, USA for Metaghan, Nova Scotia

  • 44,26: Bucureşti, Romania for Bucharest, Romania

Reasoning: local name. -- CrystyB

  • 44,143: Mombetsu, Japan for Monbetsu, Japan

wmcduff: Debatable. While the village website is at 'mombetsu', Wikipedia goes with Monbetsu, which is how I'd write the kana in English.

  • 44,145: Otrada, Russia for Mount Rausu, Japan

If anything, it should be Yuzhno-Kuril'sk, Russia. Otrada is a small village, Mount Rausu isn't a settlement at all, Rausu is slightly smaller than Yuzhno-Kuril'sk.

  • 43,-119: Burns, USA for Hines, Oregon

Probably to be moved. Burns is larger, and the two are roughly equally central.

  • 43,-107: Airport Road, USA for Lysite, Wyoming
  • 43,-103: Hot Springs, USA for Custer, South Dakota

Debatable. Hot Springs is larger and more central, but Custer is probably more recognizable, and Hot Springs may be confused with the Arkansas grat of the same name.

  • 43,-101: Martin, USA for Kadoka, South Dakota

Debatable. While Martin is slightly larger, Kadoka has an airport. The two are equally central.

  • 43,-100: Rosebud, USA for Murdo, South Dakota

Debatable. While Rosebud is larger, it's not an actual municipality.

  • 43,-97: Parkston, USA for Alexandria, South Dakota

Debatable. While Parkston is larger, it's also on the edge of the grat.

  • 43,-94: Fairmont, MN for Estherville, Iowa

Probably to be moved. Fairmont is larger and more central, and the grat's split equally between the states.

  • 43,-93: Mason City, IA for Albert Lea, Minnesota

Probably to be moved. Mason City is larger and only slightly less central than Albert Lea, and the grat's split equally between the states.

  • 43,-88: Waukesha, USA for Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

Probably to be moved. Waukesha is significantly larger and somewhat more well-known nearby. However, Waukesha is also on the edge of the grat, unlike Fond du Lac.

  • 43,-82: Sandusky, USA for Sarnia North, Ontario
  • 43,-81: Goderich, Canada for London North, Ontario
  • 43,-80: Kitchener, Canada for Waterloo, Ontario

  • 43,-78: Oshawa, Canada for Lockport, New York
  • 43,-74: Gloversville, USA for Hamilton County, New York

Probably to be moved, as it seems like grats are generally named after towns, not counties.

  • 43,-73: Saratoga Springs, USA for Glens Falls, New York

Probably to be moved. While Glens Falls is more central, Saratoga Springs is larger and more recognizable.

  • 43,-72: Rutland, VT for Claremont, New Hampshire

Probably to be moved. Rutland is larger, and the grat is more Vermont than New Hampshire. However, Claremont is more central.

Debatable. The population difference is negligible, as is the centrality difference.

  • 42,-102: Alliance, USA for Rushville, Nebraska

Probably to be moved. While Rushville is more central, Alliance is significantly larger.

  • 42,-101: Mullen, USA for Cody, Nebraska

Probably to be moved. Canandaiga is both larger and more central.

  • 42,-74: Amsterdam, USA for Cooperstown, New York

Debatable. While Amsterdam is significantly bigger, Cooperstown may be better-known outside the region.

  • 42,-9: Muros, Spain for Ribeira, Spain
I would much rather name it Fisterra because, although Ribeira is the larger town, Fisterra is perhaps more iconic as it is slightly more to the west and Cape Finisterre, which is a common final destination for pilgrims, is located there. --DRZ (talk) 22:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Ribeira is a larger town but it is also almost entirely outside the graticule. Muros appears to be the largest municipality, and Cee appears to be the largest locality. No comment on iconicity - none of those names are familiar to me except Cape Finisterre itself. --January First-of-May (talk) 23:12, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

First, the town is Paradise Valley. Second, McDermitt straddles the graticule line, while Paradise Valley is fairly central.

  • 41,-112: Roy, USA for Clearfield, Utah

Debatable. Roy is bigger, but is closer to the graticule border.

  • 41,-108: Superior, USA for Table Rock, Wyoming

To be moved. Table Rock is now a ghost town, with no population, making Superior a good option despite being near the grat border. (Point of Rocks, the other city in the grat, has a population of 3, as opposed to Superior's several hundred.)

  • 41,-102: Sidney, USA for Chappell, Nebraska

  • 40,-119: Burning Man, USA for Gerlach, Nevada

Probably to be moved. Burning Man is certainly more well-known outside the region than the small town of Gerlach.

  • 40,-114: West Wendover, USA for Wendover, Nevada

To be moved. West Wendover is the Nevada city which falls within the grat.

  • 40,-102: Yuma, USA for Holyoke, Colorado

  • 40,-98: Grand Island, USA for Hastings, Nebraska

  • 40,-97: York, USA for Seward, Nebraska

Probably to be moved. York is larger and somewhat more central.

  • 40,-95: Nebraska City, NE for Shenandoah, Iowa

Debatable. Nebraska City is larger, but the grat is slightly more Iowa, and Shenandoah is more central.

  • 40,-94: Maryville, MO for Bedford, Iowa

Probably to be moved. Maryville is significantly larger than Bedford, and the grat's cut in half between the two states.

  • 40,-93: Trenton, USA for Princeton, Missouri

Debatable. While Trenton is larger, Princeton is more central.

  • 40,-88: Champaign, USA for Champaign/Urbana, Illinois

Debatable. While Champaign is the bigger of the two cities, they're often referred to together (like the Twin Cities), often in the context of University of Illinois.

  • 40,-83: Marion, USA for Marysville, Ohio

Probably to be moved. Marion is larger, and the nearby county is named Marion.

Debatable. While Santaquin is bigger, it's also near the grat border.

  • 39,-106: Edwards, USA for Vail, Colorado

Debatable. Edwards is bigger, but Vail is home to a well-known ski resort.

  • 39,-101: Colby, USA for Goodland, Kansas

Debatable. While Colby is slightly larger, it's also closer to the grat border.

  • 39,-100: Oskaloosa, USA for Grinnell, Kansas

While Oskaloosa is bigger than Grinnell, Grinnell is home to a fairly well-known liberal arts college, making this one debatable.

  • 39,-99: Norton, USA for Stockton, Kansas

Debatable. While Norton is bigger, Stockton is more central.

  • 39,-98: Beloit, USA for Osborne, Kansas

Debatable. While Beloit is larger, Osborne is more central and the name of one of the counties.

  • 39,-97: Concordia, USA for Belleville, Kansas

Probably to be moved. Concordia is significantly larger and more central.

  • 39,-94: North Kansas City, USA for Kansas City, Missouri
  • 39,-85: Columbus, USA for Greensburg, Indiana

Arguable. While Columbus is significantly larger than Greensburg, Greensburg is more central, and Columbus risks confusion with the nearby city of Columbus, Ohio.

Probably to be moved. Springfield is significantly larger.

  • 39,-82: Columbus, USA for Lancaster, Ohio
  • 39,-81: Parkersburg, WV for Marietta, Ohio

  • 39,-80: Fairmont, USA for Clarksburg, West Virginia

Debatable. Fairmont is slightly bigger, Clarksburg somewhat more central.

  • 39,-78: Winchester, VA for Cumberland, Maryland

Not oppose. Although Talavera de la Reina has indeed more population, Toledo is more representative. --SastRe.O (talk) 21:23, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Toledo is actually a tiny bit larger by the 2017 estimates, and about 2% larger by the 2022 estimates. OTOH, it's also split by the graticule border. In any case, as the medieval capital of Spain [EDIT: and also as the namesake provincial capital], it's probably far more famous. --January First-of-May (talk) 16:31, 9 September 2023 (UTC)

  • 38,-94: Overland Park, USA for South Kansas City, Missouri
  • 38,-93: Sedalia, USA for Warrensburg, Missouri

Debatable. Warrensburg is actually bigger, but Sedalia may be more recognizable.

  • 38,-88: Mount Vernon, USA for Fairfield, Illinois

Probably to be moved, as Mount Vernon has 10k more people and is less likely to be confused for other grats. However, Fairfield is more central.

  • 38,-86: Jasper, USA for Bedford, Indiana

Jasper is somewhat larger, Bedford somewhat more central.

  • 38,-84: Lexington-Fayette, USA for Frankfort, Kentucky

Lexington is much bigger than Frankfort, although it's on the edge of the grat... while it's a part of the official name, is the -Fayette needed?

Oxnard is more populous than Santa Barbara, and which of the two is more recognizable is debatable.

Certainly Santa Barbara is more recognizable and historically significant. After all that most excellent TV show Psych is conspicuously set here. Although if we were going after recognizable we would have to add Ojai into the mix. I lean towards keeping it Santa Barbara, but the only active hasher is working out of the greater Oxnard area. --Scerruti
And the largest feature is Los Padres National Park. I'd recommend listing the names of larger towns like Oxnard on the page itself, just so a search for Oxnard will hit the page (it doesn't hit anything now.) -- Jevanyn

Yes, Hemet may be larger in population but I happen to know for a fact that no one there geohashes or even owns a computer. Actually Palm Springs could make an argument for this Graticule as well, you may have heard of it, the Rat Pack used to hang out there. But, this Graticule is dominated by California's largest State Park, Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, an immense wilderness that will only not try to kill you for two weeks in the spring when the flowers are blooming. Therefore I suggest it be left as-is. --Scerruti

Tecate is not a good name for this graticule, at least until geohashing catches on in Mexico. However El Cajon is not much better. I would suggest Alpine, CA as the replacement name, but I would like to hear opinions. --Scerruti

I'd suggest keeping Tecate. There is a town on either side of the border with that name, and it's smack in the center. Short of making Tijuana a split city (and pissing off everyone in San Diego), I'd leave it as is. And there have been geohashes in Mexico (I think relet did one?) -- Jevanyn
relet's map shows successful hashes around Mexico City. There is only one apparent cross border (from: US to Mexico) attempt shown and I believe that was a typo and did not actually happen in Mexico.

For all we know, the largest city in that graticule could be Amman North in the very southeast corner; but even if that is true (which is likely if hard to prove), such a name would be incredibly unrepresentative of the graticule (which is mostly Israel and contested areas).

+1 for 'Puerto Palomas, Mexico'. The main reason people have heard of Columbus is that Pancho Villa raided their armory, so might as well give the grat a Mexican placename anyway. Arlo (talk) 03:25, 3 March 2021 (UTC)

  • -32,115: Mandurah, AU for Fremantle, Australia
  • -32,149: Kandos, AU for Mudgee, Australia
  • -33,23: Willowmore, South Africa for Uniondale, South Africa
  • -33,148: Parkes, AU for Cowra, Australia
  • -33,149: Orange, AU for Bathurst, Australia
  • -33,150: Katoomba, AU for Blue Mountains, Australia

Debatable. Most of the graticule is occupied by the Blue Mountains National Park.

  • -34,19: Grabouw, South Africa for Caledon, South Africa
  • -34,20: Bredasdorp, South Africa for Swellendam, South Africa
  • -34,137: Port Victoria, AU for Maitland, Australia
  • -34,173: Taipa, NZ for Rangiputa, New Zealand

I suggest the name 'Far North', NZ for this graticule, as it is what the region is known as, and more north than Northland.

  • -35,141: Murrayville, AU for Underbool, Australia
  • -35,144: Deniliquin, AU for Denilliquin, Australia
  • -36,-71: San Carlos, Chile for Parral, Chile
  • -36,147: Mount Beauty, AU for Corryong, Australia
  • -36,148: Thredbo Village, AU for Jindabyne, Australia
  • -37,-73: Coronel, Chile for Lota, Chile
  • -37,-12: Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, SH for Tristan da Cunha, Atlantic Ocean
Oppose. The current name explains everything you need to know about the graticule. The whole island is completely inside the graticule. - Danatar (talk) 18:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
  • -37,177: Te Kaha, NZ for Waiorore, New Zealand
  • -38,-57: Mar del Plata, Argentina for Mar del Plata South, Argentina
  • -40,-73: Osorno, Chile for Osomo, Chile
Osorno is the correct spelling, "Osomo" is a typo/misreading. To be renamed. --January First-of-May (talk) 19:07, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
  • -40,145: Stanley, AU for Smithton, Australia
  • -40,172: Takaka, NZ for Golden Bay, New Zealand
  • -40,176: Takapau, NZ for Waipukurau, New Zealand
  • -41,148: Saint Helens, AU for St. Helens, Australia
Maybe neither - Wikipedia, OSM, and the census website list it as "St Helens" without a dot. --January First-of-May (talk) 19:07, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
  • -41,172: Murchison, NZ for Motueka, New Zealand
  • -41,173: Blenheim, NZ for Nelson, New Zealand

Not to be moved, but much of a muchness really, keep it as Nelson

Debatable? Does Blenheim have more (permanent) residents? Is it a regional name?
  • -42,148: Swansea, AU for Coles Bay, Australia
  • -44,170: Fairlie, NZ for Waitaki River, New Zealand
  • -46,167: Tuatapere, NZ for Te Waewae Bay, New Zealand
  • -49,70: Port-aux-Français, TF for Kerguelen Islands East, Indian Ocean
As a (relative) non-fan of island-plus-compass-direction names like that, I propose a full set of place names: Port-aux-Français, Kerguelen for -49,70, Port Bizet, Kerguelen for -49,69 (to be discussed, many options in this graticule), Port Curieuse, Kerguelen for -49,68, Port Christmas, Kerguelen for -48,69, La Montjoie, Kerguelen for -48,68, and Îles de Boynes, Kerguelen for -50,68. --January First-of-May (talk) 23:13, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
As the one who named those graticules, I oppose these suggestions. The majority of people on Earth don't even know that the Kerguelen islands exist. Those that do might know that they are in the Indian Ocean, the next fact would be that they are cold and barely inhabitated. Anything more is extremely special knowledge. Right now, everybody who reads "Kerguelen Islands Northwest" will know that the respective graticule is the northwestern one. I see absolutely no gain in renaming the graticule, because when I read "Port Curieuse" I will know less about where the graticule is than when I read "northwest". The Kerguelen islands are a largely uninhabited place and nobody goes there except for some scientists. If and when somebody ever goes geohashing there, they can ask the locals about which port or hill or strange-looking rock is most important to define the area. - Danatar (talk) 18:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
  • -51,-59: Port Howard, FK for Falkland Sound, Falkland Islands, Atlantic Ocean
...There's a lot to be said about the Falkland graticules. Little of it pleasant. It's worse than Kerguelen. Um, could I have a table?
Lat\Long -61 -60 -59 -58 -57
-50 Jason West Cay, Falkland Islands Atlantic Ocean Atlantic Ocean Atlantic Ocean Atlantic Ocean
-51 Beaver Island, Falkland Islands Fox Bay, Falkland Islands Port Howard, Falkland Islands Mount Pleasant, Falkland Islands Stanley, Falkland Islands
-52 Orford Hill, Falkland Islands Port Stephens, Falkland Islands North Arm, Falkland Islands Bleaker Island, Falkland Islands Atlantic Ocean
Note for -51,-61: Weddell [sic] Island is only partly in this graticule, and its main settlement is outside it.
Note for -52,-61: "Cape Orford" could work, but the corresponding settlement is just outside this graticule.
Note for -52,-58: there are larger islands in this graticule, but this appears to be the only populated one.
...OK, that should be all of it. I think. For now, anyway. --January First-of-May (talk) 21:52, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
  • -51,-58: Goose Green Settlement, FK for East Falkland Center, Atlantic Ocean
As far as I can tell, Mount Pleasant is larger and not as close to the edge. (See also above for a more general treatment of the Falklands.) --January First-of-May (talk) 21:52, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
Similar to the Kerguelen islands, the names for these graticules should stay as they are until the locals decided on a better name. While the Falklands are much more inhabitated than the Kerguelen islands, the current scheme is much more useful for anybody who hasn't extensive knowledge about local geography. Don't make it unnecessarily complicated and don't rename any graticules that don't need changes without having been there. - Danatar (talk) 18:50, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
  • -68,-90: Peter I Island, Antarctica for Lars Christensen Peak, Antarctica
The entire island is in the graticule. --January First-of-May (talk) 21:25, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
